Frequency Response Analysis of Deep Groove Ball Bearing

The study The study investigated the variation of statistical parameters of vibration signals acquired from ball bearings with respect to speed using an experimental set up. Accelerometers mounted on the bearing housing and connected to Multi function FFT Vibration Analyzer (CSI) 2130 were used to measure the radial, axial& vertical accelerations from the bearing housing. The RMS value& Kurtosis analysis validates that the ball bearing health can be fairly monitored using frequency domain analysis. The method proves to be a simple, quick& cost effective method in the condition monitoring of ball bearings& is most suitable for random signals such as from bearings.
